Evolis
Circuit breakers adapted to your needs

Evolis: a range of circuit breakers that takes account of your electrical installations requirements today and in the future.

Description
Evolis: a range of vacuum-type circuit breakers from 7.2 kV to 24 kV, combining easy selection and a comprehensive offer: b a fixed, frontal or lateral version b a withdrawable, frontal version with a circuit breaker and its cradle or its cassette b a fixed, lateral version equipped with an integrated protection chain b separately delivered accessories. The Evolis circuit breaker is operated via a spring mechanism that gives an operating speed that is independent of the operator and that does not require an auxiliary power supply. When the operating mechanism is motorized the circuit breaker can include telecontrol functions and carry out rapid reclosing cycles. The various circuit breaker versions are easy to integrate in a cubicle environment. An Installation Guide details the required procedure.

Applications
Evolis is intended for use in medium voltage network applications, in new installations or renovation, for utilities companies, infrastructures, the process industry and the tertiary sector. It provides protection for all types of applications: cables, overhead lines, motors, capacitors, transformers, source busbar sections, etc.

Evolis, a fixed, frontal or lateral version

Here the circuit breaker is in its simplest version. In this case it can be combined with additional accessories to meet various requirements. For the fixed lateral version, the MV connection can be on the right or on the left depending on the type of circuit breaker.

Evolis
The very best of vacuum technology

As a specialist in breaking technologies, Schneider Electric took naturally an interest in vacuum breaking techniques. A major R&D investment was made to develop and engineer Evolis, providing customers with the very best of vacuum technology.

Make-up of a vacuum interrupter

Vacuum interrupters basically have two electrical contacts (fig.1), one fixed and the other mobile, and a sealed enclosure. The latter enables a high level of vacuum to be maintained inside the interrupter (less than 10-2 Pa) to provide insulation between the open contacts. The dielectric strength of the vacuum allows the contact-to-contact distance to be reduced. This short distance together with the low opening speed allow the use of a low energy control mechanism. A metal clusters provides the link between the mobile contact and the enclosure. In order to keep the vacuum level required for the correct operation of the interrupter for 30 years, the enclosure must be perfectly sealed, and the various components have to be fully degased. This is achieved by: b choosing materials that are specifically selected for this application (metals and ceramics) b choosing an appropriate assembly process (vacuum, high temperature brazing) b the use of a getter material to absorb the residual gas.

Ceramic chamber Shield Fixed contact Mobile contact

Current breaking in a vacuum interrupter

In vacuum breaking, the electrical arc generated on separation of the contacts is made up of a plasma of metal vapors produced by the vaporization of the contact material.

Metal bellows

At low values of current, these vapors very quickly condense on the shield and contacts when the arc disappears, thus allowing: b the vacuum to be re-established b a contact-to-contact dielectric strength to be restored that is greater than b the recovery voltage: breaking is then complete. At high currents, the electrical arc in the vacuum switches to a concentrated mode which causes high, localized temperature rises on the contacts. The existence of these hot spots is detrimental to the quick restoring of the dielectric strength. Two techniques can be used in order to avoid this stagnation of the static concentrated arc: b the so called RMF (Radial Magnetic Field) technique, involves rotating the arc thanks to an electromagnetic effect generated by a radial magnetic field; this therefore limits contact erosion. b a more recent technique called AMF (Axial Magnetic Field) involves applying an axial magnetic field parallel to the axis of the two contacts (fig. 2) which allows a diffuse arc to be maintained (fig. 3) even at high current values. The arc energy is spread over the whole contact surface area, therefore causing very low levels of erosion. b Schneider Electric has chosen this last technique for the Evolis range.

Evolis
The very best of vacuum technology (cont.)

Schneider Electrics choices for Evolis combined with its industrial expertise provides customer with a highly reliable range of circuit breakers. These products are suitable for the most demanding conditions with the guarantee of full compliance with international standards.

AMF technology
Evolis circuit breakers use AMF type vacuum interrupters. According to technical and economic optimization considerations, the axial magnetic field is generated: b either by a coil outside of the interrupter (fig. 4), for rated voltages up to 17.5 kV b or by a coil integrated in the interrupter contact structure (fig. 5), for the 24 kV voltage level. In both cases the AMF vacuum interrupters feature low arc voltages (Uarc of around 50 V) and maximum usage of the contact surface for very low contact erosion.

The advantages provided

The above choices provide customers with the following advantages in MV circuit breaker applications: b simple and compact vacuum interrupters b high electrical endurance meaning that there is no need for contact wear inspection in normal network protection applications including highly disturbed overhead line feeders.

Systematic advanced control

The main components of the circuit breaker, such as vacuum interrupter and operating mechanism, are produced by Schneider Electric. The vacuum interrupters are manufactured in an ultra-modern production unit in France. During manufacture, each circuit breaker is subjected to systematic advanced testing. Vacuum interrupter testing The level of vacuum in each interrupter is tested using the magnetron discharge method. Using this sophisticated procedure, measurement is very precise and does not require access to the inside of the interrupter, thus not affecting the airtight seal.

Functions
b A drive system combined with a threaded shaft gives easier racking in and out. The racking in mechanism can be operated with the door closed. b An interlock stops the user from inserting the lever as long as the racking truck has not been put in the racked in/out position. b An interlock between the circuit breaker status and the truck gives secure operation: racking in or out is only possible if the circuit breaker is open. b An interlock also exists between the LV connector and the truck. It is only possible to rack in if the LV connector is connected. The cradle floor has all the fixing holes needed to correctly position the earthing switch control mechanism and power circuit. This makes earthing switch operation reliable and gives interlocking between the circuit breaker and the earthing switch. b Earthing is automatic when the truck is fully racked in. b Protective shutters stop fingers from touching the racking clusters when the device is extracted (protection index: IP2X). b For maintenance operations, it is possible to: v padlock the shutters in the closed position v unlock the shutter mechanism to access the racking clusters. b A foolproof device enables correct matching of the cradle and circuit breaker rating. This system is mounted on the cradle base. Part of the system must be assembled by the panel builder on the cubicle floor.

Undervoltage release (MN)

This release unit causes the systematic opening of the circuit breaker when its supply voltage drops below a value less than 35% of the rated voltage, even if this drop is slow and gradual. It can open the circuit breaker between 35% and 70% of its rated voltage. If the release unit is not supplied power, manual or electrical closing of the circuit breaker is impossible. Closing of the circuit breaker is possible when the supply voltage of the release unit reaches 85% of its rated voltage. Characteristics

Time delay for undervoltage release (MN)

Time delay for MN

To eliminate spurious tripping of the circuit breaker when there are brief voltage drops, the MN action is controlled with a time delay. This function is achieved by adding a time delay unit outside of the undervoltage release (MN) circuit (adjustable time delay). This unit is placed outside the circuit breaker and can be inhibited by an emergency stop button to obtain instant circuit breaker opening. Characteristics

Description of functions
Remote control

DE58085

Function
Remote control enables the remote opening and closing of the circuit breaker. The opening order always takes priority over the closing order. In the event of simultaneous opening and closing orders, the mechanism discharges under no load, without moving the main contacts. The circuit breaker remains in the open position. In the event of latched opening and closing orders, the mechanism carries out antipumping function as standard, by blocking the circuit breaker in the open position. Anti-pumping function: after opening on a fault or deliberate opening via the manual or electrical mechanism, the closing order must be interrupted then reactivated to enable reclosing of the circuit breaker.

Composition
Circuit breaker equipped with remote control

The remote control comprises: b an electrical motor (MCH) equipped with a spring armed CH limit switch b a shunt closing release (XF).

DE58086

Electrical motor (MCH)

The electrical motor carries out the automatic rearming of the storage energy springs as soon as the circuit breaker closes. This allows instant reclosing of the device after opening. The arming lever is only used as a backup control in the case of the absence of the auxiliary power supply. An electrical motor (MCH) equipped with a spring armed CH limit switch. This contact indicates the armed position of the mechanism (springs armed). Characteristics
